How breathing necklaces work

Breathing necklaces are like wearable mindfulness tools—they help you slow down and breathe better, which can have a powerful calming effect on your body and mind. Here's how they work:

How They Help You Feel Calmer

• Slows your exhale: The necklace is designed with a narrow tube (like a small whistle or straw) that naturally slows your breath when you exhale through it. This longer exhale activates your parasympathetic nervous system—the part of your body that tells you "you're safe now."
• Breaks the anxiety loop: When we're anxious, we tend to breathe quickly and shallowly, which can make us feel even more panicked. Breathing necklaces help interrupt that cycle by encouraging deep, controlled breathing.
• Stimulates the vagus nerve: Longer exhales stimulate this nerve, which helps lower your heart rate and blood pressure, easing you into a more relaxed state.
• Portable and discreet: You can wear it anywhere—on a walk, at your desk, or during a stressful moment. It's a subtle reminder to pause and breathe.
• Retrains your nervous system: With regular use, it can help your body learn to stay calmer overall, even when you're not using it.
